House Oversight and Government Reform Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) plans to meet next week with Kash Patel, President-elect Donald Trump’s yet-to-be-confirmed pick to run the FBI, to discuss how he can be an ally in the new administration’s efforts to root out the so-called Deep State.
“I want [Patel] to know that our committee will assist in any way possible to help him disrupt the ‘Deep State,’” Comer said in an interview on Thursday, referring to the conspiracy of illicit power-players running the government.
Patel, who if confirmed would replace Christopher Wray as head of the FBI, has come under scrutiny for suggesting he intends to go after Trump’s political adversaries. But Trump’s allies, including Comer, have argued that Wray failed to address bias at the agency that they claim has become overly politicized.
While his confirmation hearing date has not yet been set, Patel has promised if installed in the posting to rebrand the FBI headquarters as a so-called “museum of the deep state” and enumerated members of the “Deep State” in his book “Government Gangsters.”
Comer said his committee could help in Patel’s effort, specifically suggesting the Oversight Committee could relay to Patel’s team the names of bureaucrats “that kept coming up in our depositions and interviews of people that were obstructing and covering up.”
He was alluding to the officials interviewed in the previous congress during the House GOP’s ultimately unsuccessful impeachment inquiry into the outgoing president, Joe Biden, of which Comer was a leader.
That probe, which never culminated in a formal impeachment vote, was based on allegations that Biden engaged in “impeachable conduct” for using his position to enrich those close to him.

As if that’s a bad thing?
Patel should keep his mouth shut, get confirmed, analyze his situation once in office, and THEN meet with House Republicans (who cannot help him get confirmed) to discuss options.
Agree. I don’t want any traps set before his administration even gets confirmed.
Well, fine, but note the irony in an elected representative admitting that Congress can’t control the government they as lawmakers, created.
“House Oversight chair plans meeting with Kash Patel to PLOT take-down of ‘Deep State’”

Interesting use of the word by Politico.
I’d previously associated the word PLOT or PLOTTING with Dem☭¢rats...
I do not believe they have just resigned themselves to being eliminated.
Something is up. Bigly.
Pray for President Trump and the January 20th Inauguration.
Never forget Schumer’s caution that the intel community has nine ways from Sunday to get you.
About the only way to do this is to fire whole departments right down to the custodians, remove security clearance, forbid re-hiring, and sell their buildings.
@politico
LOL - leave it to Politico to say there’s a “plot” to take down the actual plotters...can’t make this 💩 up...🥸
Wray failed to address bias at the agency that they claim has become overly politicized.
The stabbed snake squirms to protect the pit from further harm.
